Disney World, Days 2 and 3

On the second day, we went to Animal Kingdom. I thought this would be one of her favorite places since she loves animals so much, but we didn't even go look at any. It was the hottest day of our trip and we found out later that Jill was getting sick that day. She didn't smile in many of the pictures, and we were all way too overheated. There isn't really anything to do that is in air conditioning there, and they had taken FastPass away for the day, so we didn't get to do the water ride. We didn't stay long. The live Lion King show was wonderful, but they didn't allow photography. We would have liked to have seen the Finding Nemo show as well, but Jill was done. There aren't too many pictures from this day...

We found Rainforest Cafe right inside the park, first thing!

Big smile for Thumper and Miss Bunny (no waiting since we were the last ones they let in before they took a break).

We waited a LONG time for Minnie in the heat, which was silly since we could see her at Magic Kingdom, but that's what Jill said she wanted to do, so...

We waited even longer for Mickey since he kept taking potty breaks.

The safari ride is very cool because you get to see lots of animals. Jill was sick, tired, and hot. Can you tell? Later, she did tell us that was her favorite part of the day.

At last a real smile on the carousel at Downtown Disney after dinner...at Rainforest Cafe, where else?

On the third day we had our character breakfast at the Grand Floridian Resort. Oh my goodness, it is a beautiful place! Jill LOVED the Supercalifragilistic Breakfast, as you can see, and afterward we headed back to Magic Kingdom. This was the day that she really started having true cold symptoms, but she had so much fun that you'll never be able to tell!

She and Mary Poppins had a 15 minute long love-fest in which Jill sang to her. Afterward Mary told us that it was the most unique rendition of "A Spoonful of Sugar" she'd ever heard. "She started off with 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, but she made it her own." We have video of it, but unfortunately you can't hear anything but background noise. Too bad.

Not really caring about Tigger, because ALICE from Alice in Wonderland is coming!

REALLY not caring about Pooh, poor Pooh

watching someone interesting

She had a very long love-fest with Alice too. So sweet.

Alice was smitten too.

"Tea!"

Soon after our arrival at Magic Kingdom, we saw the parade again. Jill got a mention!

As it turns out, the characters who don't talk aren't that interesting, especially when you met them the day before.

sloppy kisses

"I'm fuh-lee!"

"Cheese!"
